The Sunday’s doubleheader promises a delight to cricket fans. Two big games are scheduled back to back. First, in the afternoon, it will be Rajasthan Royals hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad at Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur and later in the evening, Royal Challengers Bangalore will welcome Kolkata Knight Riders at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

For RR, the key batters are Sanju Samson, Ajinkya Rahane, and Ben Stokes. Rahul Tripathi, Jos Buttler, and H Klassen can also contribute with the bat but they have looked out of form so far. In the last game against MI, Samson and Stokes paved way for RR’s victory. Samson hit a half-century while Stokes blasted 27-balls 40.

In bowling, J Archer, D Kulkarni, and Jaydev Unadkat were the wicket-taking bowlers. Archer took 3 wickets against MI while D Kulkarni took 2 wickets.

For SRH, the key batters are Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson. M Pandey and Yusuf Pathan down the order have the capabilities of playing match winnings knocks but have failed to impress so far. Dhawan and Williamson on top will be crucial.

Bowling has been the main strength of SRH. S Kaul, Rashid Khan, Shakib Al Hasan, B Thampi and Sandeep Sharma have been excellent in last two games. If Bhuvi makes his way to playing 11, it will be another feather in SRH’s bowling attack.

For RCB, the key batters will be skipper Virat Kohli, Q de Kock, and Ab de Villiers. Also, Mandeep Singh is playing well down the order and can play crucial innings when required. Moreover, Q de Kock, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers are the top run-scorers for RCB. AB de Villiers has returned in form and it is evident from his last two innings.

In bowling, Umesh Yadav and Y Chahal have been crucial. They are the only wicket-taking bowlers for RCB.

For KKR, the key batters are Robin Uthappa, Nitesh Rana, D Karthik and Andre Russell. Sunil Narine can also hit biggies in his small cameos but he is not consistent. Andre Russell was the top scorer in the last game against Delhi for KKR. Young Shubhman Gill also played a crucial knock in the last match.

In bowling, Shivam Mavi, Sunil Narine, Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav have been effective. All are efficient in providing breakthroughs.
